Monia Di Marcantonio, BACP

Monia Di Marcantonio is a BACP psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She draws on four years of practice to help clients untangle anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, and the effects of past trauma. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at making sense of what’s happening now and what keeps it happening.

Her style blends practical tools with a gentle focus on emotions and bodily experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses. The emphasis is on understanding rather than rushing to change, so clients can feel safer exploring difficult material.

Monia pays attention to how early experiences and attachment patterns continue to affect present life. She offers a steady space to investigate those patterns and their impact on thoughts, feelings and relationships. The goal is to loosen unhelpful habits and increase access to personal strengths.

She also supports people facing grief, addiction challenges, intimacy concerns, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas include abandonment, communication problems, mood disorders, narcissism, post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse.

Sessions are available in English and Italian, and Monia works with people in the UK and internationally. Her approach suits those who want thoughtful, compassionate partnership rather than quick fixes.

Approaches for online work and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression and mood difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasises the role of attachment and emotional safety in relationships and can support people who want to understand and shift how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. This makes the process collaborative, not prescriptive, and allows adjustments as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from a chosen location and support deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and are good for check-ins or days when being on camera feels hard. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief updates, reflective exercises and people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and different communication styles.
